We had each caused so much pain for each other-yet the love I felt for him was stronger than ever. It was unconditional. I imagined his love for me would be unconditional as well, and maybe, instead of screaming or talking through the terrible mistakes we'd made, all we'd have to would be to look in each other's eyes and say nothing, just touch each other's cheeks, and love each other.

Although he was the governor, his salary was only four hundred and fifty dollars a month, and Baghdad had still not agreed to give the governors an independent budget ...
